Arron Banks, the man said to have bankrolled the Brexit campaign, has launched an "anti-establishment" news website set to be the UK equivalent of the US's Breitbart.

Westmonster, which launched today, promises to be "pro-Brexit, pro-Farage, pro-Trump, anti-establishment, anti-open borders, anti-corporatism" and features original content as well as news aggregated from the internet.
